About Revive! Onsen Town!
As the scenery outside your window slows and fades into the distance, you finally arrive at your summer destination—Onsen Town, a quiet and remote village hidden away from the bustle of the city.
With no internet due to its location, you’ve traveled here with your mother, who was transferred for work, to help the town build its first communication tower.
Along the journey to restore the town’s vitality, who will you meet, and what stories will unfold? A warm and healing summer awaits—filled with possibilities for you to discover.
In Onsen Town, you leave behind the noise of the city. Here, you’ll be greeted by star-filled night skies, endless blue oceans, and—most of all—the peaceful moments shared with the people who live here.
In this small village with limited connectivity, lift your gaze, listen to the gentle music, and discover the beauty hidden in everyday life.
To help revive the town, you’ll earn money through various daily activities while enjoying the slow pace of countryside life. From fishing and bug catching to part-time jobs, running a stall, or sharing posts on SNS—there are countless ways to contribute to the town’s restoration.
And of course, what would rural life be without farming and fishing? Harvest the vegetables you’ve grown, cook meals with your freshly caught fish, and savor the simple flavors of the countryside.
On your third day in the town, you can choose to live as the Mayor or Kyoko, the visiting girl. Once selected, you will play as that character for the day, while the other will go about their own life based on your choices.
Whether it’s the hometown Mayor or the newly arrived Kyoko—both are part of this little community, each experiencing their own journey in Onsen Town.
